https://isthereanydeal.com/ is great for getting any given game at a good price. You can see where it is currently/usually cheapest, its price over time, etc. You can also set up notifications for when it drops below a certain threshold.

In a similar vein, there is also https://www.dekudeals.com/ for the Nintendo switch. It has similar functionality where you can make an account and be notified when games go on sale for consoles.

Also https://gg.deals in the same veins, it list both official stores prices, and key resellers, but with resellers it also lists the risks known for each reseller (like "unknown key sources", "adds a fee after checkout" etc)

I've been using backloggery.com for too many years at this point. Any site that doesn't offer an import tool is likely one I'm not going to switch to. Just too lazy to import all that data.

I only just migrated from backloggery this year too, so I know how you feel. It was a daunting prospect to manually move my 2000+ game list over, but I got it done. I'm actually updating both still, since it was so much work to setup backloggery in the first place and also serves as a nice backup in case something happens to one of the sites.

The way backloggd lets you write a daily journal entry in a calendar for every game you are playing is so good. Though I miss the homepage on backloggery, that one is still nicer.

Yeah, the homepage thing stood out to me as well. It doesn't feel like it's focusing enough on the games on currently playing and is just a "general gaming info" type of homepage.

Exactly. I love backloggery's focus on the games you are currently playing. The games you are playing and the last status you wrote are front and center when you log in and its exactly what I want to see. I can only hope backloggd someday copies it.

Yeah, it doesn't have an import feature but having an option to export to CSV was a big part of why I set up on Grouvee. Because there will inevitably be a next thing.

Well, that and I didn't want a site with "backlog" in the title.

I have been using HLTB as a backlog tracker too lol, I feel like I kill two birds with one site.

Good shout, one of my favorite games is from 2004 and getting it to run properly on "modern" hardware and OS-es is not a super obvious process. PC Gaming Wiki made the process a lot less annoying.

GTA San Andreas! Good game, but stability was never its strongest suit.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of co-optimus.com when looking for co-op games to play with friends. It's really helpful, you can filter games out by platform, number of players, online co-op, local co-op, split screen, dated released. It's very helpful!

hltb.com has been great for me, helps to decide which games to go for next when managing my busy schedule, and when I just want to finish something quickly one evening.

If you have a Steam Deck, there's also a Decky plugin that integrates it right into Steam so you can see how long the game will take right from the launch page. That and the ProtonDB plugin that shows Linux compatibility are super handy.

These are two that might be well known, but I don't really hear people talking about:

  • I use Map Genie quite a bit. It's just a bunch of interactive maps for a lot of different games, but it's really helpful when looking for that one item you're missing, or waypoints in general. It's mostly geared towards open world games.
  • I also use How Long To Beat if I looking to play a new game but don't really want to spend over a certain amount of hours playing. (Although I'm a bit of a slow player, so whatever completion times are listed I have to multiply by 2).

The other reference sites I use like NeoSeeker and Game FAQs are pretty well known and have been around for ages.

Gamefaqs is a classic for strategy guides for real oldies, or just if you enjoy quaintly embarrassing writing

Oh for sure, I meant more anyone here since the planetside community here isn’t the most active even compared to the planetside subreddit.

I still play the game and have played briefly in 2018 and then played since the summer of 2020 and I’ve in the abusive relationship that is this game since then

Heard about one called Grouvee recently, it's a site that can help manage your Steam library and backlog. The person who introduced me to it described it as "Goodreads for video games". Steam already does a good job of keeping track of people's libraries, but those who have a large library and backlog may find it useful.
